Description

One in five adults is affected by a mental health issue each year. Does your workplace have a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) officer?

The workplace is where the early signs and symptoms of a developing mental health problem can first be noticed.

The MHFA program has been specifically designed for workplaces. This training leads to improved knowledge of mental illness, confidence and skills to help someone developing a mental health issue or in a mental health crisis, and reduces unhelpful stigmatising attitudes that can prevent people seeking help early. The skills learned in MHFA training are beneficial inside and outside the workplace.
